Nomura awaiting an opportunity to buy EUR/JPY

• “Near-term USD/JPY movements will depend on how the Ukraine situation unfolds, but the widening divergence in monetary policy between Japan and the US will likely limit the risk of a strong JPY. Market attention on Japan’s inflationary pressures is also on the rise, but we do not expect an acceleration of inflation in the Tokyo CPI data release next Friday”
• 
  “We thus maintain our bearish view on JPY, even though there are near-term headline risks from the situation in Ukraine. We maintain our USD/JPY call spreads, while waiting for an opportunity for EUR/JPY long positions if the situation in Ukraine calms down”
